The Importance of Knowing Where Your Food Comes From

Most people cannot say that they know where their food comes from with confidence. These days, food sourcing is kept obscured for a reason. This allows large meat-packing plants to operate with unethical procedures, packing their livestock in tight quarters and leaving behind massive carbon footprints. Briardale Ostrich Farm is a local meat farm dedicated to teaching consumers about where their food comes from.

Avoid Diseases 

In unethical plants, meat is kept so close together that diseases spread. Within the past five years, there have been several instances on local and national levels where the disease E. Coli spread because it was found within meat products. If you buy humanely raised meat, you’re less likely to encounter these issues.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint

Unfortunately, as consumers, we can only be so responsible for our carbon footprint. However, there are several small choices that we can make to create a huge impact. For example, if you actively choose a local supplier for pasture-raised meat, you’ll know that you are not supporting energy-hungry, non-sustainable practices. 

No Surprises

When you buy from a local meat farm, there are no surprises. Briardale Ostrich Farm is completely transparent about our products. There are never any additives in our products that could harm your body. It’s far easier for big corporations to be less honest about these things, especially because they’ve built their business upon keeping you in the dark. 

Maximize Freshness

Sometimes, food on the shelves at grocery stores will look fresh when you buy it. But then, you’ll go home and notice that it’s turned brown only a few days later. To avoid this, do research on where your food comes from. Make sure that it’s not imported from another country or coast so that you can ensure that it’s only been on the shelf for a short period.

One of the easiest steps that you can take to improve your health is doing research to find out where your food really comes from. Eliminating confusion by shopping at a local meat farm makes that process even easier. At Briardale Ostrich Farm, you’ll always know every detail about what you’re buying. If you have any questions about our products, please don’t hesitate to ask. Order from Briadale Ostrich Farm today!
